Re: FUNNY new commercial for JO'S OWN NIKE SHOE!

O'Neal will be featured on Finish Line's in-store signage along with the television commercial that airs on MTV, MTV 2, ESPN, ESPN 2, Comedy Central, BET and Spike beginning today, October 12.

The spot 'The Great Jump Debate' features two foreign scientists arguing over O'Neal's jumping ability and helps highlight that Finish Line is the only place to find the exclusive Jermaine O'Neal colors of Shox Elite basketball shoes.

The spot opens on a basketball court where Jermaine has been demonstrating his jumping ability to two Russian engineers. The engineers stand on the court below Jermaine while he is suspended in mid-air. During the commercial, the engineers speak in Russian, arguing about how he got up so high. One argues that it's obvious -- Shox Elite and its super-technology enabled O'Neal to jump that high. The other thinks that's the craziest idea ever -- it can't possibly be the shoes.

Ultimately, the engineers can't agree that it is the shoes. The commercial ends with a shot of the Shox Elite showing that home and away colors are available exclusively at Finish Line

Create an ignore list. I know it may seem unneighborly. But you're here to talk about the Pacers, not argue with someone who's just looking for an argument. Most of the regular users on here make use (at least occasionally) of the "Ignore" feature. Just go to "Settings" -> "Edit Ignore List" and add the names.

Re: FUNNY new commercial for JO'S OWN NIKE SHOE!

Oh I like those blue ones. Now if I can just convince my wife that I need to spend 120 bucks on a pair of shoes.

Bingo.

I could make an argument that I need a new pair of basketball shoes - the last pair I bought was Reggie's 1996 Olympic shoes, and after I had them for a while I realized they were a half-size too small and I hated them.

So I still wear my Barkley Air Force Max's in Phoenix Suns' Black/ White/ Purple when I occasionally get onto a court.

Why do the things that we treasure most, slip away in time
Till to the music we grow deaf, to God's beauty blind
Why do the things that connect us slowly pull us apart?
Till we fall away in our own darkness, a stranger to our own hearts
And life itself, rushing over me
Life itself, the wind in black elms,
Life itself in your heart and in your eyes, I can't make it without you

Re: FUNNY new commercial for JO'S OWN NIKE SHOE!

According to Finish Line, here are the specs:

Nike Mens Shox Elite
Style: 309267 Color: 142

And the gold shoe is color 173.

A decade or so ago, when Nike's "style" number started with anything other than a "1", that meant the color combination was "exclusive" to that retailer. I haven't sold a pair of basketball or running shoes since then, so I don't know if that's still true or not.

IOW, I don't think you'll find this color combination at Footlocker, Galyans, or anywhere else. Eastbay has the same shoe, for example, in 12 colors, but not the Pacers' colors. (They do have a nice looking UCLA version, however).
